Alex Cruz is a Canadian-Latin American actor born in El Salvador. He immigrated to Toronto at the age of 6. From a very early age he had a great interest in entertaining, taking part in numerous performing arts with the support of his mother. Soon after arriving in Canada, his mother passed away, redirecting his focus towards academics and a series of part-time jobs to help out the family. At the young age of 16, he found a way to continue with his passions as an entertainer in the late hours of the night by performing in clubs and outdoor venues as an electronic music DJ, a passion that continues today. Formerly a teacher and a small business owner, he decided to leave his business and career to pursue the entertainment business more seriously. Although classically trained in Strasberg, Adler, Shurtleff, and Stanislavski techniques as well as having a vocal proficiency in musical theatre, popular and Jazz singing styles, Alex's attention has been geared towards acting in film and television. Having appeared on The Strain (2014), Season 2 and after landing the lead role of Christopher Walls in the Sci-Fi feature film Mentamorphosis (2016), , Alex went on to develop a great working relationship with producer and director Rany Naser and began co-producing a variety of short films under the umbrella of Lightwork Films. The production company is in pre production for their second feature film - a prequel to the Mentamorphosis series. Alex continues to gain momentum and make an impression with a series of short films including; Like a Drug, Congrats on Ending your Life, and Midnight Morsels in which he plays very different roles: funny man, victim and murderer. Alex Cruz is an emerging artist with incredible versatility and range ready to take on complex roles as protagonist or antagonist alike. Favourite Genres; Cult/Sci-Fi, Dramas, and Comedies.
